HEIC to JPG
The iPhone shoots HEIC, and half the software out there will not open it. Here it is decoded inside your tab by libheif — the photo is never sent anywhere. Drop twenty files at once and take a ZIP.
How to do it
- Pick your HEIC files or drag them in — several at a time is fine
- The format is already set to JPEG; adjust the quality if you want
- Take the finished file, or a ZIP if you dropped a batch
Frequently asked questions
- Why do phone photos sometimes come out sideways?
- Because in JPEG and HEIC the orientation lives in a separate tag rather than in the pixels. Here that tag is read and applied before anything else, so a portrait shot stays portrait.
- Does the resolution change?
- No. The preset uses "inside" with a bound larger than any photo and upscaling off, so the image passes through at its own resolution.
- What happens to the GPS coordinates?
- They are not carried over. The image is redrawn from pixels and every piece of metadata stays behind in the input file. The panel under the result shows exactly what was in there.
- Why is HEIC loaded separately?
- The libheif decoder weighs 1.46 MB. There is no reason to ship it to someone who came to resize a PNG, so it downloads only once you actually open a HEIC.
